Hello and merry Christmas to u all

Nice post about the Christmas. Did you also know that the Christmas tree tradition is supposed to come from Germany?

Anyone that can recognize two Royalties on this painting:-)

Of course it will alway be some that not agree, this is one web site saying >quoteThe first documented use of a tree at Christmas and New Year celebrations is argued between the cities of Tallinn in Estonia and Riga in Latvia! Both claim that they had the first trees; Tallinn in 1441 and Riga in 1510. Both trees were put up by the 'Brotherhood of Blackheads' which was an association of local unmarried merchants, ship owners, and foreigners in Livonia (what is now Estonia and Latvia).
While others say that the traditional Christmas tree started in old Germany and as a fact.
The first recorded Christmas tree can be found on the keystone sculpture of a private home in Turckheim, Alsace (then part of Germany, today France), dating 1576.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year
